THE WOODLANDS, Texas (AP) -- Chicago Bridge & Iron Co. NV, an energy-infrastructure construction company, on Friday said it received a contract worth more than $100 million from UGI LNG Inc. to engineer and construct the expansion of a Temple LNG peak shaving facility near Reading, Pa.

Under the contract, CB&I will be responsible for the addition of a new 50,000 cubic meter liquefied natural gas storage tank and related processing facilities designed to provide 150 million cubic feet of natural gas per day during peak demand periods.

The Temple LNG expansion will connect into the Texas Eastern pipeline to provide gas supplies for the Mid-Atlantic and northeast markets.
